Modern engines like my cobalt 2.2 won't bog like antiques because the computer doesn't allow it, I have driven off from 500rpms with rather minor bog, it just doesn't take off efficiently doing that.

I find it odd my 5sp cobalt is rated higher than the 6sp cruise, should have put in a double overdrive instead of short shifter me thinks.
